A hidden but potentially powerful new feature of the next version of Word is the ability to compose a blog post and publish it entirely from within Word. This brings most of Word’s tools and formatting into close reach to just about any blogger. Although not all of the tools are available, most of these tools, including spell check, dictionary, thesaurus, and quick formatting styles are available for use.

More information about this feature can be found here.

When you click on the Blog option, it will open up a new Word window. This window is different from normal word editing windows in that it has a separate location for the post title. Not only that, if you haven’t set up any blogging accounts till now, it will also prompt you to create a blogging account with an established blogging services like MSN Spaces, Blogger, SharePoint etc. or to provide the details for your own blogging server as long as it supports Atom or MetaWeblog APIs.

I typed this post with the blogging feature, and everything worked extremely well.
